Beginning of the month update for March.
Added a Tangora goby to this tank. It's pretty cool looking actually and only reaches a max size of 2.1 inches, so it makes my little clown in here seem big. They are not a very active fish, just kinda sits there most of the time, but scoots where ever it wants. Here are two pics.. almost the same, but one with his dorsal fin up and the other down.   The next series of pix are just a quick update on the growth of the frags I have in there. Look to previous pics will confirm how much they have grown.      I ordered in two Par30 bulbs from Boostled. They are the All Royal Blue with 60 degree optics to use like you would for an actinic lighting source. This means I will be removing one of the current bulbs from my configuration and adding an extra one. I haven't figured out which bulb to remove yet, but am suspecting it might be the IceCooLed 10k bulb, which will be kept as a spare in case anything happens.. I am hoping the bulb will be in within the next week and a bit.

Close up pics of Runt first.. one of each side.
  You think Omen is small for being almost 2 years old... check this out.   I also made a frag of my green bottlebrush for this tank.  Video of Runt and Omen establishing a new pecking order http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uj0bomATbI

My Boostled All Royal Blues came in the mail today.. yes... so I decided to check them out just to see what they would look like. I have to go to walmart and get a couple lamps that I can take apart and some more chain to I can put them up on Monday.
Front tank shot. All RB only  2 All Royal Blue and the Nanocustoms 12000k in the centre  This is my GSP All RB only  2 All Royal Blue and the Nanocustoms 12000k in the centre  Green Bottlebrush Frag - Looks more like an ORA Verde now All RB only  2 All Royal Blue and the Nanocustoms 12000k in the centre  I couldn't get a decent shot of my red digitata frags. The red really really glowed under these lights, but I haven't figured out the setting on my camera enough to compensate for the lighting and exposure. I am going to have to get some tips on that. My mind friggin blew when I saw my green bottlebrush under the all royal blues though. Seriously, it looks like it dropped acid at a hippy show. So on Monday, when I get the other parts (which depends on my tax refund being deposited into my account), I am thinking of using the two Nanocustoms 12k bulbs in the centre and the two Par30 RB's on the ends to give a decent mix of lighting where I need it most. Considering the anemone I want to keep will be going in the middle of the tank. On another note.. I removed the MJ1200 from the end of the tank, and added a new Knano265 or whatever it is. I put the K1 in the rear position because it is larger, so I can have more room towards the front. Additionally, my two smaller clowns are no longer fighting with each other and have paired up and follow each other all over the place. LOL.

I finally got my Boostled all royal blues set up now. I also had the chance to go to my not so local fish supplier and get a few small corals for this tank since it is going to be a bit yet before I can have an anemone in here.
All five lights on at the same time.. it actually makes for a very nice looking tank and not too bright. The all royal blues get rid of the yellowish color from the Ice CooLed bubs... unfortunately, until I can verify the par value of the Royal Blues. I don't want to burn my corals.
